- This was on "Crucified." They were quite clear on the radio how he
- was playing the piano. The guy even had to retire to a rest room to
- prepare for the event. I believe Howard got in trouble with the

- I cracked up when I reread that. Yes, it's stupid, insensitive, and
- deserves an apology, but I'll bet it was no accident that it went out

- separate his personal from professional life, he should resign one or
- the other.
